Some take clean air for granted, while others perhaps have
never seen clean air and blue sky as a daily occurrence. We have all heard the
stories of how pollution has had massive impacts on China. A study published in
The Lancet reported that in 2015 1.8 million people in China were killed due to
air pollution related issues. When your pollution levels have reached a point
where you have issued a warning for people no to go outside for an extended
amount of time for over 3.9 million square miles, you may have an issue that
needs to be addressed.

Nature has provided us with the one of the most amazing air
purifiers that don’t require frequent filter changes. Trees truly does provide
us with a breath of fresh air. However, when you have a high concentration of
population one of the first things to be removed is trees and other large
plants to make way for the concrete and steel living structures. Around the
globe we see forests and green spaces being decreased at alarming rates. Even
though the younger smaller trees do not filter as much air as the larger old
growth ones, it is important that we replenish our tree inventory as much as
possible. When it is not possible to plant as many trees and other living
filters to offset the pollution of the area, other ideas have to considered.

This is where China’s innovative ideas have started to be
utilized and tested. According to the South
China Morning Post, Chinese scientists have developed and deployed the
“worlds biggest air purifier.” At 328 feet, this was no small experiment. This
shows China’s drive to find possible solutions to their air quality problems.
Results have shown improvements in air quality over an area of almost 4 square
miles and has produced over 353 million cubic feet of clean air. These
preliminary results show promise of solutions like this and perhaps pave the
way for other ideas that can help us keep the air clean for future generations
to enjoy.

Perhaps you do not have room in your yard to construct a 328-foot
air purifier, but perhaps you have some space to plant a couple of trees to
help us all breath a little better. Visit Tree
